A former yakuza,
living in a fictional version of Shinjuku, Tokyo populated by humans and
yokai (Japanese spirits). He is one of the titular karas, humans appointed
as superpowered agents of the land. Able to transform into a car, an aircraft,
and an armored crusader; the skilled swordsman is to stop his corrupt predecessor,
Eko, from taking over Tokyo.

I
never heard of Gold Lightan until Tatsunoko VS Capcom (like most people,
I'm guessing). Anywho, Gold Lightan looks like a giant... Lego... Transformer to me. lol. Overall, he's a pretty cool
character in Tatsunoko VS Capcom and has some
ridiculously dramatic moves.... His super moves are BEYOND EPIC. XD His
in-game voice actor also adds a ton to the character. Finally, he's also pretty fun to use, though a bit
clunky. For the record, I like using him more than PTX.
